  • The Farmington River Watershed Map
    Farmington River Watershed Education Curriculum: Elementary FRWA Curriculum Guide Week II Watershed 28 Farmington River Watershed Association Farmington River Watershed Education Curriculum: Elementary Watershed – Background Information “The river moves from land to water to land, in and out of organisms, re- minding us what the native peoples have never forgotten; that you cannot separate the land from the water, or the people from the land. – Lynn Noel, Voyages Canada’s Heritage Rivers A watershed consists of an area of land and water where water drains into particular water basins, such as rivers, lakes, ponds, wetlands, or streams. It encompasses all the land, animals, plants, buildings, towns and people within the area. The precipitation that falls that is not used by the plants or animals travels within the watershed. Land elevation determines the flow of water, while surrounding ridge areas define the boundaries. Farmington River Watershed is a sub-basin of the Connecticut River Watershed. All the tributaries of the Farmington River are included in the watershed. The area of land encompasses 386,000 acres, or 609 square miles, which drains into the Farmington River and its tributaries. Included in the watershed are 10 towns in Massachusetts and 23 towns in Connecticut. The Farmington River, in turn, drains into the Connecticut River. The 81 miles of river begin at an elevation of 2,180 feet in the Berkshire Hills of Becket, MA, traveling 16 miles through Otis and Tolland, and enter Connecticut in Colebrook at 1,300 feet. The west branch river flows through land areas that feature hills, ponds, wetlands and lakes.

  • The New Deal Versus Yankee Independence: the Failure of Comprehensive Development on the Connecticut River, and Its Long-Term Consequences
    The New Deal versus Yankee independence: The failure of comprehensive development on the Connecticut River, and its long-term consequences Eve Vogel1 Department of Geosciences, UMass Amherst With assistance from Alexandra Lacy 2011 alumna (BS, Environmental Sciences), UMass Amherst Adapted from: Vogel, Eve and Alexandra Lacy. Forthcoming. The New Deal versus Yankee independence: The failure of comprehensive development on the Connecticut River, and its long-term consequences. The Northeastern Geographer 4 (2) Introduction For a person familiar with federal dams on major rivers in the American West or South, a visit to an Army Corps of Engineers dam in New England’s largest river basin, the Connecticut, can be a startling experience. Instead of an extended reservoir, one looks down from the empty heights and on both sides sees only a small river far below. Nor is there the fanfare – the visitors center, the historical information, the celebratory propaganda. Simply finding one of the Connecticut River’s federal dams can take some effort. None are on the mainstem. One must drive through the bucolic New England byways and forested hills to find a dam on a tributary (See Figure 1). For New Englanders, the near-invisibility of federal dams may not seem surprising. New England’s history and identity, including the Connecticut Valley’s, seem to rest with the small- to medium-scale development of rivers with mill dams during the 17th thru 19th centuries (e.g. Delaney 1983; Steinberg 1991). It might be more startling for many to learn that during the mid- twentieth century, the federal government did build a series of very large dams in the Connecticut Basin, which have had profound effect on the river.

  • The Rainbow Dam and the Lower Farmington River: Legal Status, History and Physical Condition
    The Rainbow Dam and the Lower Farmington River: Legal Status, History and Physical Condition Eric Lukingbeal March 2008 When the English colonists settled the original thirteen colonies, they brought with them a set of legal principles called “the common law.” The common law was not written down in one place as legislation is, but was instead distilled from the thousands of cases decided by English common law courts beginning in the 13th century. The common law covered the areas of contract, torts (civil wrongs), property and criminal law. The most well-known description of the common law was Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765). One of the aspects of the common law of property concerns the rights held by owners of property along streams, rivers and other natural water bodies. These are called “riparian” rights. Riparian comes from the Latin word (ripa) for stream bank. Riparian rights are one of a bundle of the rights held by all owners of the fee interest (the “fee” interest is the entire interest in the property). The bundle of rights includes among others, the rights to use the land, to exclude others, to rent the land to others, to occupy the land, and to sell or give the land to others. Riparian rights are a special case, since not all land borders water. Riparian rights, simply stated are the rights to withdraw and use the water. It also includes the right to use the bottom of the stream or lake, to harvest ice, and install a dock or pier, among other rights.
